...recently had to impose stricter inter-House dining restrictions, requiring all Winthrop students to secure Winthrop House stickers for their IDs. At least the dining hall is a convenient place to hang out with friends and do work late at night, boasting a lasting stock of soda, coffee, tea, and carbs. The food itself during meals is middle-of-the-road: better than Adams House and Annenberg Hall, but not as high-quality as Dunster or Currier...
...disciplined legislative process. But that seems well beyond the capacity of the current Democratic leaders. The most egregious example was Reid allowing Baucus to dawdle for three months, attempting to cut a deal with the Republicans on the Finance Committee, during which time support for the bill curdled as Tea Party Summer unfolded. The Democrats also allowed their own special interests - the lawyers, the labor unions - as well as individual members to barnacle the bill with codicils and special deals that worked against the greater good...
...Texas heads into the primary on Tuesday, polls show Perry with a double-digit lead over Hutchison, who a year ago was herself sitting on a double-digit lead over Perry. A week before the election, the Feb. 24 Rasmussen poll had Perry at 48%, Hutchison at 27% and Tea Party activist Debra Medina at 16%. Other polls echo those results. Rasmussen also polled voters who had already cast their ballots during the early-voting period, and Perry led 49% to Hutchison's 24% and Medina's 20% - tantalizingly close to the 50% Perry will need to avoid a runoff...
Hutchison also lost some anti-Perry votes to Medina. A former Ron Paul for President volunteer, Medina climbed out of obscurity thanks to good performances in the debates and her Tea Party connections. But after some impressive showings in preliminary polls, she appeared to have flatlined as election day drew closer. Her lack of money - just under half a million dollars compared to Perry's $16.7 million and Hutchison's $19.7 million - plus her comment on the Glenn Beck radio show that some of the conspiracy theorists who see the federal government's hand in the 9/11 attacks "have some...
While Hutchison avoided primary challenges and subsequent conflict with primary voters thanks, in great part, to the power of incumbency, Perry has cultivated the conservative right ever since switching to the Republican Party as a state legislator in 1989. He also tuned into the Tea Party movement long before others sensed its influence, Henson says. Last April 15, Perry made headlines worldwide when he mused publicly at an Austin Tea Party rally that Texas might secede if Washington continues its "oppressive" ways. He also embraced the movement to reaffirm the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution defining state's rights...
